A bill for an act establishing a criminal offense for written or electronic threats to kill, cause bodily injury, or conduct a mass shooting or an act of terrorism, and providing penalties.

HF 2535 makes it a class C felony to send, post, or transmit written or electronic threats to kill, cause bodily injury, or carry out a mass shooting or act of terrorism via any digital platform visible to others. The law applies to threats shared through social media, messaging, or other digital communications (excluding phone calls), targeting individuals who make such threats online. Violators face up to 10 years in prison and fines up to $13,660. This directly affects people who issue violent digital threats, while exempting internet service providers from liability for users' violations. The bill creates new criminal penalties for digital threats, distinct from existing laws covering in-person or verbal threats.
